@dicconf: "Although I will probably continue to read and post, there
may be a hiatus while I get things sorted out.
My husband, Richard Eney, whose account I shared, had a stroke,
apparently one of a series of mini-strokes that had passed unnoticed 
because the symptoms were atypical.  He had seen several doctors 
and none of them had picked up on the small changes, nor had I.
When he had the severe stroke, the surgeons tried to remove the
clot, but the complications that followed were untreatable.
Richard Harris Eney died Friday afternoon, December 22, 2006.
He was 69 years old.
There may be a memorial service at some time.  If my online
friends feel a desire to, please make a donation to the charity 
of your choice.

I'm terribly sorry. I hope you have had some family helping out in 
living through such a sad Christmas.
Wishing you lots of strength for the years to come,

That was my first reaction.
This is the first I've heard of this as I've been away over Christmas and
when I returned I just marked everything read.
Richard was one those posters whose contributions I actually looked forward
to reading. I'll miss him. Though I never could work out until I go to the
end of the post whether it was Richard or Tamar posting. In a way, I'll miss
that too.
Tamar, 
Please allow me to express my deepest sympathies for your painful loss. I
imagine it's somehow worse when it happens at what is supposed to be one of
the happiest times of the year.
You're in my thoughts
All the best

Digging out the paperwork, it turns out he was actually 74 years old.
Yes, friends and family have been rallying around and will continue
to do so.
Thank you all for your good wishes.

	one year younger than her true age, for the last eight years

	no longer see, connected with the turn-of-the-century-is-

	one not thinking about it too hard.
	 not vanity, as i said; but it did mean she got into furious
	arguments with anyone who tried to correct her *g*
	- she'd seen a tremendous amount of change in her life - born
	just on the previous turn of the century, she'd seen people
	go from riding horses & carts - or, mostly, walking - and the
	creation of the universal postal union, to television, and the
	sight of people travelling into space, walking on the moon,
	and - just as fabulous - taking powered flight as commonplace,
	week-ends off in what'd once been distant parts of the world's
	greatest empire, reached only by months at sea in one of the
	great ships of the lines she worked for as a young woman...
